Links and Fundraiser
Jul. 2nd, 2014 09:30 amFirst, this week's beg for our wonderful Hadley Rille Books fundraiser, now with no totebags!
Second, links!
1) Independent bookstores start a new chapter: Growth. Their numbers are up, along with their sales, as e-book novelty wears off and human interaction becomes a top priority.
2) Krugman on global warming. Tl;dr = a) the "war on coal" is BS - coal mining jobs are being lost to stripmining, not environmentalists, and b) if you believe in Ayn Rand, the only response to global warming can be angry denial.
3) An interesting article about the economics of developing self-driving cars.
4) Not news to my readers, but the US missile defense system is utterly broken.
